Rub aloe Vera juice on the mittens. Very bitter things.
My son sucks his hands and I must tell you its something I hate so much but dh refused me to stop him claiming hell stop on his own but he didn't.He'd never suck unless at midnight when really hungry. I suffered engorgement several times.
Recently I went gangster on him when his teeth start curving inwards.now they fell off at 4plus. Imagine!

Try biko!

Wow. Thank you mama for the tip. I will definitely tie wrapper ontop this matter.

Nameflow:
The young man seems to be having fun.. Lol. I personally believe that you should try substituting his thumb with your nipple. In other words, when you see him sucking his thumb allow him breastfeed. Also consider timed feeding even though as much as he would take. Possibly every 3 hours...

Regarding caput what I believe he has is Cephahematoma, it will get absorbed and dissolve gradually most definitely before he's one since it is already becoming hard.

Thank you Sir.
So i should just leave the swelling like that and it will go down?
Dr. Google was
diagnosing 'God forbid'

This mention got lost jn my sea of mentions and only hit pushed up again with others quoting it


1. Get him Mittens to wear. You don't want a sucking baby, they don't like eating, AT ALL! It also ruins their dentition, so curb it while you can.

2. When he's sucking, does he get enough milk? Sometimes when the sucking is hard on them, it discourages them. Some babies are lazy suckers.
I'll advise you to pump the milk out and feed him with bottles. He should suck like 4 times a day then support with bottles.

3. He's 4m means he'll soon start complimentary feeding, he might just be looking for a change of meals. Lol.

4. Keep calm, children's feeding pattern are mostly related to growth spurts. At this age, their body metabolism determines how hungry they get so when his metabolism is in full drive, he'll eat a lot and you'll see the effect in a growth spurt. After reaching the peak of his spurt, he slows down metabolism and his feeding pattern will slow down too.


Try the bottle and see if you can rule out the sucking issue first.
If he rejects bottle, try spoon.
If he ejects both, get a formula for him and see if he'll accept it.
I know it's your dream to ebf but if the person you want to ebf for says no, maami, you have to change tactics for his sake.

I have no idea about caput, sorry.
Good luck.

Thank you so much Ma'am.
I will try expressing. My hubby wasn't in support of expressing cos he feels somehow the milk won't be fresh. But I will convince him.

As for mittens...sometimes I even wear him up to three layers of mittens on his hands... Yet he will suck comfortably with everything on as if its sugar u put on his hand... If u remove the mittens eh, you can literally squeeze out saliva from it.
And yes. The suckling drastically reduced his demand for breast.

Around this time, it is quite normal for some babies. They are now aware of their environment, every sound and movement interests them.

When you want to feed, take him to a quiet room with dim lights. Alternatively, you can express and spoon feed or bottle feed. Also at this point, you might notice he sucks more at night, kinda making up for the scanty feeding during the day.

About the pain, maybe he is superman

Thank you sis.
You are right about the distraction. Every single thing interests him. If u cough, he will remove his mouth and look at you as if to say...Mummy are you alright

My DS sucks better during the day than at night

tyhgfrdeswscbhf:
Mama's abeg my baby of 3 months plus has not pooped for like 2 days now and is really disturbing him. Biko any remedy

Hello Mama...for my son... I hold him tight and just pour his not too hot bathing water directly on his anus constantly, he will start farting smelly farts and then poo all the 3 - 5 days poop he had been holding. My mum taught me this!... Or you can just leave him to poop on his own time when he wants. Its normal for babies to not poop for some days even when they make grunting noises.

I dont think there is cause for alarm.

Good afternoon Moms n Dads

I am a ftm. My dear son is 4months old. I noticed he has reduced the way he eats... He would feed for a short while and then remove his mouth. Its usually a struggle to get him back to the breast... He used to cry a lot but after 2months...hardly cries even if he is hungry or taking immunization injections...not even when he rolled down from our bed...I met him on the floor smiling at me. He just likes to laugh and babble a lot with lots of gestures... Its usually a fight to get him to suck...
Its surprising cos He was once a foodie...his birth weight was 4kg and he had been adding weight ever since but...
at 10weeks immunization he weighed 6.4kg...and weighed 6.2kg at 14weeks immunization... Because that was when the reluctancy to eat started.
I don't really know what to do...it's totally draining. He is exclusively breastfed and he is now four months yet he will keep laughing and SUCKING HIS THUMB ALL DAY... if u don't force him to suck breast.

I am very worried!!!

Please help me!!!

Secondly...he had caput at birth... The softness has hardened but the swelling is still there even at 4months. Will the swelling still go down to rhyme with the shape of his head??

Cc. Nameflow, zaynie, liftedhands, giddyperson and sabi mamas and papas

Liftedhands:
Caput is caused by birth trauma during delivery. It's pressure on the head as the baby trys to come out of the birth canal, or when forceps and suction aid is used to help baby out. It's nothing to worry about and yes it usually resolve by itself from a few days to 6 weeks, but in some cases it will require the use of an infant cranial helmet.

Some massage the head to mould it to shape but it's highly not encouraged due to lack of expertise and may cause injury to the new born.

Go back to your doctor and have them evaluate your baby to rule out other complications and advise on next step.

It's generally nothing to worry about and you can disguise the head with a baby cap if people's opinion will bother you.


The rashes could be newborn acne and this too clears by itself. Just keep baby comfortable and not to swaddled in heavy fabric.

Thank you ma

Giddyperson:
What Giftedhands said, plus you can buy baby tribotan for the rashes

Thank you ma

Hello Mothers

I am a FTM with a 2wk old son. I noticed soon after his birth a large bulge on one side of his head that is soft and gives his head and awkward shape. The nurses said its caput and will clear after a few days but we are two weeks now and the bulge is still very much there.... Please anyone experienced this?
Also, my baby suddenly developed acne some days back and its spread allover his face plus he has some on his neck that is larger in size and seems to be peeling off... What can i do to clear them?

Please sabi mamas help me especially the caput issue... Have u faced such before with your Los.

Our dear son came on Sunday, 19th April, at 1:48pm via Vaginal delivery with minimal tears after nearly 4hours of extreme labour pains, weighing 4kg.

God saw me through...and gave us the victory over the devil.

I wish all preggy mums a safe delivery. God shall see you through and you will hold your baby(ies) in your arms.

To those trusting God for children... He will fill your quiver with arrows.

Hold unto God...He never disappoints. I am a testimony of His faithfulness.

God bless you all.

I'm about 29/31 weeks along. I have this huge craving for cashew...and i consume quite a lot. It doesnt trouble me in any way except occasionally smelly cashew farts and constipation (rarely). Hubby thinks i am over-abusing cashew and has banned me from eating it.
I jave resorted to privately eating it sha...but the smell often betrays me. Please who else os infatuated with cashew fruit like me...and i hope it isnt harmful in anyway. Google no dey give me any making sense answer..
